I followed your thread and did the same to mine. Are you happy with it or no? I went higher compression ratio so im wondering how much it will affect it after the tune. From what I can tell now it shouldn't be that noticeable

Do you just plug the hole on the end, where the actuvator arm is or do you plug all the holes where the shaft does thru?

Im running an auto and for some reason it seems to want to run alot around 3k cruising and shifting i guess for gas milage.

I feel for my car it was better with the flaps in there.

I dont want to put it back because i did ALOT of work on the flapless intake but i just prefer it how it was with an auto tranny

My car feels a lot smoother running w/ the flaps opened. So I'm going to either get an escape manifold or plug the holes on the stock one. Say Ronnie did you just plug the hole on the end where the actuvator arm is, or do you plug all the holes where the shaft goes thru?

well i plugged them all because i didnt want any certin cylinder to off. I didnt want anything to mix or get better or worse performance for some reason.

Use it w/o the tumble flaps. For me it makes the motor run smoother. I was asking Ronnie if he filled up all the shaft holes or just where the actovator arm is. Would anyone know if the escape manifold has all the same mounts & stuff as a 23 Foci manifold minus of course the imrc?
